They are all leisure activities Korean Teenagers enjoy while "hanging out" with their friends.
Besides from shopping, talking at cafes, eating brunch or lunch OR dinner, these are some other popular activities :).
PC Bang
PC Bang is similar to (what was mentioned before) Internet Cafés in China. It is just a large area with aligned computers to do internet, games, and social networking programs.
Although you have to pay a price per minutes, the fee is EXTREMELY cheap. PC Bang is usually visited by male teenagers of Korea. They enjoy playing games such as Star Craft, World of Warcraft, so on and so forth.
The Internet is extremely fast in PC Bangs, so for a high speed internet, many people visit the PC Bang.
It's cheap, AND fun!
No Rae Bang
The concept of No Rae Bang is different from Kareoke, Kareoke in Korea normally stands for a singing bar. However, NRB in Korea is highly popular amongst teens. You pay by hours or per 30 minutes for a room, where you can sing any one you may wish.
Korean NRBs vary from hotel-like rooms (amazing) to a simple room with a sofa. NRBs are visited daytime, nighttime, ANYTIME.
This is a hotel NRB. Looks good, huh?
It maybe a nice way to get to know an acquaintance!
Sticker Photos
Sticker photos are mainly popular among Korean Teenage girls. It is a place to take photos and decorate them how ever you want to, and it will be printed as a sticker! High school students capture their memories through sticker photos, and many even collect them in large amounts.
The reason why it is highly popular is because the photos from Sticker photos usually turn out very pretty. If it didn't you can always fix it by editing it!
Movies
Movies are highly popular amongst teenagers in Korea, also. Not only does it give an awesome entertainment, it's an activity you can take part in with an awkward friend. Korean Movie tickets are different from America, in that there are assigned seats, not first come first serve.
Special Couple Movie Theater!
Korean movie theaters usually have all kinds of different movies, even from a different nationality. (With subtitles of course).
The culture of having popcorn in one hand and soda on the other is no different, though.
What do they ALL have in common?
